[VERSE 1]

      G                  C        
Come all you workers who toil 

      G
night and day

   C                               
By hand and by brain, to earn your 

D
pay

        G                          
Who for centuries long past, for no

 C              G
 more than your bread

C                  G             
Have bled for your countries and 

D            G
counted your dead

[VERSE 2]

       G                           
In the factories and mills, in the 

C             G
shipyards and mines

      C                         
We've often been told to keep up 

          D
with the times

        G                     
For our skills are not needed, 

         C               G
they've streamlined the job

         C              G         
And with slide rule and stopwatch,

     D               G
 our pride they have robbed, Aye

[VERSE 3]

    G                           
But when the sky darkens and the 

 C           G
prospect is war

      C                            
Who's given the gun and then pushed

        D
 to the fore

    G                       C     
And expected to die for the land 

      G
of our birth

       C           G         D   
Though we've never owned one 

       G
handful of earth

[INSTUMENTAL]

G       C      D  G  (2X)

[CHORUS]

          G                    
We're the first ones to starve, 

           C             G
we're the first ones to die

          C                     
We're the first ones in line for 

                 D
that pie in the sky

          G                        
And we're always the last when the 

C               G
cream is shared out

        C         G                
For the worker is working when the 

D         G
fat cat's about, Aye

[VERSE 4]

    G                       C     
And all of these things the worker

     G
 has done

     C                             
From tilling the fields to carrying

     D
 the gun

           G                       
We've been yoked to the plow since 

C          G
time first began

      C      G           D        
I had always expected to carry the
